High Blood Pressure. Taking Your Blood Pressure

Transcription

1 High Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the force put on the walls of the blood vessels with each heartbeat. Blood pressure helps move blood through your body. Taking Your Blood Pressure Blood pressure is often checked by putting a wide band called a cuff around your upper arm. Air is pumped into the cuff. Your blood pressure is measured as the air is let out of the cuff. Blood pressure is one number over a second number. The top number is higher and is called the systolic reading. It is the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart pumps. The bottom number is lower and is called the diastolic reading. It is the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart rests between beats. Normal Blood Pressure Normal blood pressure is 120 over 80 or less. Blood pressure varies from person to person. Each person s blood pressure changes from hour to hour and from day to day. High Blood Pressure High blood pressure is also called hypertension. High blood pressure is 140 over 90 or higher. A diagnosis of high blood pressure is not made until your blood pressure is checked several times and it stays high. 1

2 Visok krvni pritisak Krvni pritisak je sila koju svaki otkucaj srca vrši na zidove krvnih žila. Krvni pritisak omogućava cirkulaciju krvi. Mjerenje krvnog pritisaka Krvni pritisak se često provjerava stavljanjem širokog pojasa zvanog manšeta oko nadlaktice. Zrak se upumpava u manšetu. Krvni pritisak se mjeri dok se zrak ispušta iz manšete. Krvni pritisak se mjeri uz pomoć dva broja koji se nalaze jedan iznad drugog. Gornji broj je veći i zove se sistoličko očitavanje. To je pritisak u krvnim žilama koji nastaje dok srce pumpa krv. Donji broj je manji i zove se dijastoličko očitavanje. To je pritisak u krvnim žilama kada se srce odmara između otkucaja. Normalan krvni pritisak Normalan krvni pritisak je 120 sa 80 ili niži. Krvni pritisak varira od osobe do osobe. Krvni pritisak svake osobe se mijenja iz sata u sat i iz dana u dan. Visok krvni pritisak Visok krvni pritisak se naziva i hipertenzija. Visok krvni pritisak je 140 sa 90 ili viši. Dijagnoza visokog krvnog pritiska se ne uspostavlja sve dok se krvni pritisak ne izmjeri nekoliko puta i ostane visok i nakon nekoliko provjera. High Blood Pressure. Bosnian. 1

3 The harder it is for blood to flow through your blood vessels, the higher your blood pressure numbers. With high blood pressure, your heart is working harder than normal. High blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and hardening of the blood vessels.

4 Što krv teže protiče kroz krvne žile, to su veći brojevi nakon očitavanja Vašeg krvnog pritiska. Pri visokom krvnom pritisku, Vaše srce radi teže nego što je to normalno. Visok krvni pritisak može dovesti do srčanog udara, moždanog udara, oboljenja bubrega i zadebljanja zidova krvnih žila. Simptomi visokog krvnog pritiska Jedini način da saznate da li imate visok krvni pritisak je da ga provjerite. Većina ljudi nema nikakve znakove. Neki ljudi mogu imati glavobolje ili zamagljen vid.
